Longshot Milos Raonic Makes Canada Proud
On the first day of the Montreal Rogers Cup 2009, Milos Raonic knocked off fourth seeded Russian Teimuraz Gabashvili at the first round of the qualifying 6-7 (7), 6-2, 7-5
He then became on Sunday the first Canadian since 1986 to qualify for the Rogers Cup main draw after defeating 11th-seeded Michael Llodra 6-4, 7-6(3)
Only seven spots were available from the qualifying rounds to access the main draw where Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic, Andy Roddick & cie are competing.
Milos Raonic is ranked 691st on the ATP Tour, still young but is already getting a buzz.
Good Luck Milos!
